the case of the missing hip holster
September 24, 2009 at 9:46 am | Posted in chatty, oregon | 3 CommentsYesterday afternoon, Pearl and I went out to Oscar & Albert with some friends for a toddler-friendly happy hour (I highly recommend the grilled cheese sandwich). Unfortunately, when we left I dropped my beloved hip holster with my wallet inside
on Division St. and didn’t notice until we got home quite awhile later. I called O&A and they hadn’t seen it, so I went right back up there, looked all around (it was pretty dark by this point), and asked at Petite Provence across the street… and a man had turned in my wallet, all cards intact (thank you!!) to the lost & found there. But there was no sign of my hip holster anywhere…
So, after one last look in the daylight this morning and no dice (I did end up getting coffee and a cheese brioche for breakfast, there are worse places to lose a favorite thing), I thought I’d ask around over here: were you on upper Division last night, and did you happen to see a well-loved battered hip holster on the sidewalk or in the street? Lucky for me, I am right around the corner from Queen Bee world HQ so I can replace it easily… but I loved that little bag, especially since Kate drew it for me.
Most importantly, a huge thank-you to the guy who found my wallet and turned it in! Let me know if I can get you a coffee or a cheese sandwich sometime!

I’m sorry to hear about this. Even though you got your wallet and cards back intact, I highly recommend calling your card companies and canceling those cards and getting new ones. You never know if the people who initially saw it wrote down your info. good luck getting the holster back.

I love places where people are so nice like that. My husband lost a button off the back pocket of his shorts the other day. Two days later we were at our usual coffee shop and there, on the windowsill next to where he had been sitting when he last that button, was the button! Of course, that could just be a sign that they don’t clean much (or very well), but we’ll take it as the kindness of strangers instead.

Amazing about getting your wallet back! Too bad about your Hip Holster. Looks adorable. I can see why you love it so much! Maybe it will still turn up somehow.
